FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Hi everyone, as VMworld gets closer and closer we will begin to focus on information that will help you plan your visit to the best virtualization conference in the world. So it is appropriate that this week's VMware TAM Blog Post is all about TAM activities at VMworld. Every year the TAM organization has a number of activities which are exclusive to TAM customer. There are not only special sessions but also an entire Day dedicated to TAM customers as well as an entire area dedicated to our TAM customers. Please read the blog post and talk to your TAM so that they can arrange for you the most appropriate sessions and meetings to ensure that your VMworld experience is the best it can be.
I look forward to speaking to you all again next week.
Virtually Yours
